POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Primary Route of Exposure
Eye X Skin X Inhalation X Ingestion
Effects of Overexposure
Acute:
May cause minimal irritation, experienced as temporary discomfort.
Eyes:
Brief contact is not irritating. Prolonged contact, as with clothing wetted with material, may
Skin:
cause defatting of skin or irritation, seen as local redness with possible mild discomfort.
Other than the potential skin irritation effects noted above, acute (short term) adverse effects
are not expected from brief skin contact; see other effects, below, and Section 11 for
information regarding potential long term effects.
Vapors or mist, in excess of permissible concentrations, or in unusually high concentrations
Inhalation:
generated from spraying, heating the material or as from exposure in poorly ventilated areas
or confined spaces, may cause irritation of the nose and throat, headache, nausea, and
drowsiness. Prolonged or repeated overexposure may result in the absorption of potentially
harmful amounts of material.
Aspiration may occur during swallowing or vomiting, resulting in lung damage. Contains
Ingestion:
ethylene glycol and/or diethylene glycol, which are toxic when swallowed. A lethal dose for an
adult is 1-2 ml per kilogram, or about 4 ounces (one-half cup). Symptoms include headache,
weakness, confusion, dizziness, staggering, slurred speech, loss of coordination, faintness,
nausea and vomiting, increased heart rate, decreased blood pressure, difficulty breathing
and seeing, pulmonary edema, unconsciousness, convulsions, collapse, and coma.
Symptoms may be delayed. Decreased urine output and kidney falure may also occur.
Severe poisoning may cause death.

Repeated ingestion may cause liver and kidney damage.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
Repeated overexposure may aggravate existing liver or kidney disease.
Other Remarks:
None
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for several minutes. Get medical attention if eye irritation persists.
Skin:
Wash skin with plenty of soap and water for several minutes. Get medical attention if skin irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion:
If person is conscious and can swallow, immediately give two glasses of water (16 oz.) but do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs,
give fluids again. Have physician determine if condition of person will permit induction of vomiting or evacuation of stomach. Do not
give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, clear person's airway and give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, qualified
medical personnel may administer oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
Other Instructions:
Ethylene glycol (EG) and diethylene glycol (DEG) intoxication may initially produce behavioral changes, drowsiness, vomiting,
diarrhea, thirst, and convulsions. EG and DEG are nephrotoxic. End stages of poisoning may include renal damage or failure
with acidosis. Supportive measures, supplemented with hemodialysis if indicated, may limit the progression and severity of
toxic effects.
FOR ETHYLENE GLYCOL POISONING intravenous ethanol is a recognized antidotal treatment ; other antidotal treatments
also exist for EG poisoning. FOR DIETHYLENE GLYCOL POISONING the role of intravenous ethanol in the treatment is
unclear but it may be of benefit in view of structural and toxicological similarities to ethylene glycol. Contact a Poison Center for
further treatment information.
Aspiration of this product during induced emesis may result in severe lung injury. If evacuation of stomach is necessary, use
method least likely to cause aspiration, such as gastric lavage after endotracheal intubation. Contact a Poison Center for
additional treatment information.

Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters:
Wear full protective clothing and positive pressure breathing apparatus. Approach fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors and
toxic decomposition products.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES (Transportation Spills: CHEMTREC (800)424-9300)
Procedures in Case of Accidental Release, Breakage or Leakage:
Ventilate area. Avoid breathing vapor. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including appropriate respiratory protection.
Contain spill if possible. Wipe up or absorb on suitable material and shovel up. Prevent entry into sewers and waterways. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to be Taken in
Handling:
Minimum feasible handling temperatures should be maintained.
Storage:
Periods of exposure to high temperatures should be minimized. Water contamination should be avoided.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Protective Equipment (Type)
Eye/Face Protection:
Safety glasses, chemical type goggles, or face shield recommended to prevent eye contact.
Skin Protection:
Workers should wash exposed skin several times daily with soap and water. Soiled work clothing should be laundered or dry-cleaned.
Respiratory Protection:
Airborne concentrations should be kept to lowest levels possible. If vapor, mist or dust is generated and the occupational
exposure limit of the product, or any component of the product, is exceeded, use appropriate NIOSH or MSHA approved air
purifying or air supplied respirator after determining the airborne concentration of the contaminant. Air supplied respirators
should always be worn when airborne concentration of the contaminant or oxygen content is unknown.
Ventilation:
Local exhaust ventilation recommended if generating vapor, dust, or mist. If exhaust ventilation is not available or inadequate, use
MSHA or NIOSH approved respirator as appropriate.
Exposure Limit for the Total Product:
None established for product.
